Detailed: 2003 BMW 330i

The subject is a BMW 330i that belongs to a friend. He only wanted the exterior done and I had to finish it in one day. Fixing the exterior and the interior by myself would have probably required more than a day so it worked out for the best.
All products used are from Adam's Polishes except for some brushes from Mothers.

Before:
